It says the publish was August 24, 2006 for the manga and the airdate for the anime was October 6, 2006. Does this mean Code Geass isn't an anime original???

So I was like you as well and looked into the matter more and on wiki it says that the very first volume and chapter of the manga was released in December 26 of 2006 (anime started Oct 6 of 2006) so the anime is still the original source material especially because cuz the anime and the script for its ideas was being made few years before its release in fall 2006 and the manga was probably started to be made in august 24 of 2006 which makes sense cuz mangas are easier to write and make rather than an entire animated show.

It's not too rare for Anime Originals to get a Manga chapter (or more) released before/just after the start of the broadcast , to create hype around it (and target people who prefer to read). Cowboy Bebop , Neon Genesis Evangelion & Samurai Champloo (and many more) did it too.

Cowboy Bebop manga came AFTER the anime, not before.

The Side-story Manga started its publication less than 1 month after the start of the broadcast.
